Sed nec dominus in unaquaque re, cui colonum obligaverit, tenax esse iuris sui debet, sicut in diebus pecuniarum vellignis et ceteris parvis accessionibus exigendis, quarum cura maiorem molestiam quam impensam rusticis adfert; nec sane est vindicandum nobis quicquid licet, nam summum ius antiqui summam putabant crucem. Nec rursus in totum remittendum, quoniam " vel optima nomina non apellando fieri mala " faenerator Alfius dixisse verissime fertur.
